Definitions
- This invention relates to an automated mechanism to collect a tissue sample from humans or animals by a procedure referred to as tissue biopsy and more particularly to an improved handle assembly which can be used in semi-automated biopsy procedures to assist in the extraction of tissue sample of a predetermined size in a precise and rapid manner.
- tissue biopsy is performed to establish whether cells are cancerous.
- Biopsy may be done by an open or closed technique. Open biopsy removes the entire tissue mass or a part of the tissue mass. Closed biopsy on the other hand is usually performed with a needle-like instrument and may be either an aspiration (hollow needle on a syringe) or a core biopsy (special tissue cutting needle design). In needle aspiration biopsy, individual cells or clusters of cells are obtained for cytologic examination. In core biopsy, a segment of tissue is obtained for histologic examination which may be done as a frozen section or paraffin section.
- tissue samples for cytologic or histologic examination have been performed historically by manual insertion and manipulation of the needle. These procedures are performed “blind” by the physician and guided by “feel” and known anatomic “landmarks”.
- Tumors are first noted in a patient by one of three ways, palpation, x-ray imaging or ultrasound imaging. Once a tumor is identified, a biopsy procedure is performed. Modern medical opinion dictates early detection of cancer, which increases the likelihood of successful treatment. Biopsy are performed on “Tumor Masses” as small as 2 millimeters in diameter. This procedure is performed under ultrasound or x-ray guidance. Tumors of this size cannot be biopsied reliably by hand since the tumor is about the same size as the biopsy needle. Manual attempts at biopsy can push the tumor away without piercing the mass. Automatic puncture devices are needed to accelerate the needle at such a velocity that even a small tumor can be pierced.
- tissue imaging devices which allow the physician to “see” inside the body and visually guide the needle to the tumor mass.
- the ACBD is an instrument which propels a needle set with considerable force and speed to pierce the tumor mass and collect the tissue sample.
- This ACBD device has allowed physicians to test tissue masses in the early stages of growth and has contributed to the medical trend of early diagnosis and successful treatment of cancer.
- the “Tru-Cut” needle is comprised of an inner notched stylet with an outer cannula.
- the stylet is advanced into the tissue under spring power followed by the cannula which cuts and traps the tissue sample in the notch of the stylet.
- the “Tru-Cut” needle yields a core sample which is semi-circular in cross section, with length of the core sample determined by the stroke of the ACBD.
- the stylet is a needle with a notched cut out at the distal end.
- the cannula is a hollow needle with an angled cutting surface at the distal end which slides over the stylet. When the stylet is pushed into tissue, the tissue is pierced and relaxes into the notched cut out. When the cannula is slid forward, the tissue in the notch of the stylet is sliced off and retained in the notch until the cannula is drawn back.
- each biopsy procedure given the anatomic location of the biopsy area and tissue density, requires a particular needle gauge, a specific needle length and a predetermined extension of the stylet into the tissue to obtain the optimum biopsy sample for that particular procedure.
- prior art designs of the ACBD have a need for a design that allows the interchangeability of the needle sets to accommodate the parameters of the biopsy procedure to be performed.
- the physician may use a prior art device that is capable of functioning at different distance settings to perform a range of biopsy procedures.
- an adjustable device is mechanically complicated and requires external settings to be made to allow the mechanism to perform at different needle advancement distances.
- the reusable handles have, in prior art, been costly to obtain because of the expense of manufacturing a complicated mechanical design. Since the mechanism of the prior art ACBD is designed to have a stylet that moves forward first and then activates the cannula, thus advancing the needles in their proper sequence, these prior art devices require many high tolerance mechanical moving parts with precision bushings in order to have the device operate properly. The required repeated use of the reusable design dictates that the mechanical design be robust and operates many cycles without undue wear or failure. These requirements have produced in prior art, ACBDs that are heavy, large and costly due to their complicated mechanical designs.
- the handle assembly has an opening that allows for the insertion of a needle set.
- the needle set consists of an outer hollow cannula and an inner pointed tip stylet.
- the handle assembly includes a housing, a locking lid, and a slidable extension.
- the housing is rectangular in shape and has attached to it the extension on the top and the locking lid on the bottom, which both shield the inner mechanism.
- Inside the housing are two cylindrical rods which guide the stylet and cannula when a biopsy is performed and a tissue sample retrieved.
- the rod which guides the cannula has mounted thereon a spring and a cannula coupling for securing the cannula in the housing.
- the cannula includes an aperture in its base for connecting to a protrusion on the cannula coupling.
- the cannula coupling is pushed against the spring by a cannula pushing member, which is attached to the extension, until it reaches a position wherein the cannula is spring loaded and ready for release. Once the cannula is released, the spring urges the cannula forward in a rapid motion severing the prolapsed tissue which resides in the notch of the stylet.
- the locking lid covers the bottom of the housing and has a descending portion having side walls which provides the opening for insertion of the needle set.
- the side walls include a catch on each side which engage a cut-out located on each side of the housing.
- the slidable extension covers the top of the housing and includes an adjustable wheel on the rear end which allows a tissue sample of a predetermined size to be obtained during a biopsy procedure.
- the extension advantageously adapts the handle to one-hand operation by the user.
- the slidable extension is pushed rearward on the housing until the cannula is locked in place in the spring loaded position.
- the adjustable wheel on the rear end of the slidable extension is then turned to the desired penetration depth.
- the adjustable wheel allows the user to choose the parameters of the needle set to be used to obtain an optimal tissue sample for any given biopsy procedure.
- the adjustable wheel is attached to the slidable extension by a screw member. Located on the screw member is a trip bar.
- the trip bar includes a protrusion and moves forward along with the slidable extension until the desired preset penetration depth is obtained.
- the slidable extension, together with the trip bar are pushed forward, thus urging the needle forward the preset length, until the trip bar protrusion interacts with a locking member protrusion to release the cannula.
- a pushing portion is provided at the front of the slidable extension.
- the pushing portion includes ribs for enhanced friction between the user's thumb and the pushing portion during the biopsy procedure.
- Located on the bottom of the slidable extension near the front is a needle coupling for engaging the stylet in the housing.
- the needle coupling includes a protrusion which is inserted into an aperture located on the base of the stylet.
- the stylet and cannula are inserted into the handle assembly in the descending portion of the locking lid, which is then pushed upward and secured via the catch and the cut-out located on each side of the locking lid and the housing, respectively.
- the slidable extension is moved rearward, with a single user's hand, until the cannula is in the spring loaded position and the first locking member has engaged the second locking member.
- the adjustable wheel on the extension is turned to set the stylet to a predetermined distance for insertion into the biopsy area.
- the stylet and the cannula are inserted into the patient near the biopsy area.
- the stylet is then urged into the biopsy area the predetermined distance by pushing the slidable extension forward with the user's thumb.
- the cannula is released and fired when the predetermined distance is reached and the tissue is severed and captured in the notch of the stylet.
- the stylet and the cannula are both moved rearward by the extension, thereby disengaging the biopsy area.
- the stylet is pressed forward using the extension so that the tissue sample is exposed and may be removed.
- the stylet is then pulled back into the starting position. Moving the extension rearward again reestablishes the stylet and the cannula in relation to each other in order to allow subsequent reinsertions into the biopsy area for additional tissue samples.
- the inventive biopsy handle allows the user the ability to take multiple tissue samples conveniently and quickly using only a single hand.
